Sleep…It does a Body Good!

So my last few days have been riddled with lack of sleep and pulling my back out of whack. Baird figured out that he could climb out of his bed and he started getting up at night. We tried having him sleep in another room, we didn’t have the fan on in our room for a couple of nights, the electricity went out etc. etc. It was also in response to Baird’s lack of sleep that I decided I needed a dark blanket to hang over an additional window. That entailed getting access to a big bin in the garage and…pop….and my back didn’t work right for the rest of the day yesterday. I haven’t felt very human since Saturday, but I feel MUCH better today! One of the the things that saved me was buying some childproof doorhandles so that Baird was forced to stay in his room. I only woke up twice and got up once last night! And after a day of taking it fairly easy, my back just feels 39 weeks pregnant instead of broken! Hooray!

This is a pic of ‘baby’ Baird taken recently. I can’t believe that soon he won’t be the baby! He’s going to be a terrific big brother. He points to my tummy and says ‘Bay-Bay’ and kisses it and even says, “Hi”. He loves his doll and he wraps blankets around it. He proved how much he knows about treating babies gently in the sleep fiasco. For one night we tried having him sleep in Liesel’s room. When I moved his blankets and soft toys to the bottom bunk, he got very upset. He started throwing each blanket and all of the animals off of the bed and onto the floor. Then he carefully picked up the doll and laid it gently on the floor. Then he continued his little fit and pulled off his pillow and threw it down. I hope he’s so careful with our new little one! My only real concern is when he wants to ‘help.’ I think he’ll love having a real bay-bay in the house!
